It was a very jovial day my friends had come over to my mansion to play when suddenly my mum called me inside. I told my friends that I would be back in a second and tottered away inside to see what the fuss was all about. It turned out that I had left a tiny piece of paper on my bedroom floor (Seriously)! After a minute I went outside to apologise to my friend about the delay. As I went outside I saw something that made my stomach lurch...

 They had turned to stone! Not only that but all the greenery had died and every living creature in that garden had also turned to stone! I stood there paralysed in shock ... What would I do?''MUM'', I shouted at the top of my voice, no reply. Suddenly I heard a nearby bush rustle which alarmed me completely. If everything had turned to stone then what could be there? I followed the sound until I came to an abrupt stop. 

I stood in awe staring at the masterpiece. It was an antique tomb with intricate gold designs that were mesmerising. I suddenly heard footsteps going further and further away and I realised what I was here for. I carefully opened the tomb and to my surprise I found steps!.

I stepped on the first stair and the next without thinking about what unpleasant things could be inside the dark place. To my surprise I saw an unrecognisable place but it felt as if I've been here before.

Suddenly I saw a silhouette of a young boy lying on the grass looking dreamily up in the sky. I edged forward making no sound to scare the boy. Suddenly he spoke:

''Hello my name is Chris Dankworth.''

''Did you just say Chris Dankworth? '',I asked in a demanding sort

Chris Dankworth was my great great grandfather!!

I was very suspicious because who tells their name immediately to a unkown person. Then I realised this was way back trust existed then.

'' Yes, what's your name?'',he asked in a jolly way.

It's better to use a fake name so he doesn't get suspicious

''My name is Beatrice Sallow and it's a pleasure to meet you... do you know where we are? I'm a bit lost?'I ask

'' Well we are in Bletchley park, we aren't really allowed here because it's the code breaking place though I wouldn't expect you know anyways you're a girl they probably teach you sewing and stuff... Not that i'm prejudice its just that's what they teach right?''

I nodded quitely.

Suddenly tripped but thankfully Chris caught me.

'' Are you OK?''he asked

'' Yes thank you..''

I accidentally caught his eye

''what are you doing here get out or 'll call the police!''A stern voice shouted we fled as fast as we could ..

Without seeing where we were going we ran as quickly as we could. After a few minutes of continual running we realised that we were in the woods ! '' Chris where are we ??'' I asked panicking‘’I'll look around .. Stay here please '' he said, but before I got the chance to tell him no he was already walking far away after a few minutes I got a bit worried so I shouted ''CHRIS'' but their was no response except the wind carrying the leaves around

''AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH''

an ear splitting shriek rang around the wood ...

Epic! I like the idea of time travel. But the question is. Why was everyone stone but her…
